FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5. 1897
GOVERNOR MOUNT'S veto messages calling a halt on the increase of the number of judicial circuits in the State will meet with the approval of the people at large, although it may be displeasing to the counties interested. This is not a good time to needlessly add to the burden of the
people.
A DIM. was introduced in the House yesterday to increase the State school fund levy from 11 to 10 cents on the 8100. It would be wiser to reduce it by five cents instead of increasing it. This would place all the counties on an equality, and the shortage received from the State could be supplemented by a local levy.
EX-CANDIDATK BRYAN'S resort to the injunction process to prevent publishing firms from appropriating the title of his book is one of the curious issues of fate, as he not longer than four months ago fought a campaign against "government by injunction." The matter was one in which he had his remedy for damages if any property right was injured, but the injunction proceeding was very attractive. It is an old adage that the virtue or vice of a thing depends on whose ox is gored.
THE House Wednesday passed a bill reducing the legal rate of interest from 8 per cent to 7 per cent. Although we have always had laws regulating the rate of interest on money, yet it seems that there is about as much wisdom in regulating the rents of property which is only money in another form. When a Representative rises in his place and asserts that the people were asking for relief in this matter it smacks much of the assertion of a demagogue. Money is just like any other species of property. It is worth just what it will bring.
THE only changes that will be made in ihe election law as agreed to by the Republican caucus are that the names of no candidate shall appear upon the ballot more than once, substitutes the use of a pencil instead of a stamp in indicating the vote, and provides a circle instead of a square surrounding the party device by marking which a straight ticket can be voted. The last two changes are unimportant and might as well not have been made The first relative to the name of a candidate appearing more than once on the ballot is one of supreme importance in the line of protecting the purity of the ballot and to prevent corrupt bargai£P_priorjtothe_election.
AN EDUCATIONAL, TRUST. The bill of Hon. D. M. Geeting, Superintendent ofiPublic Instruction, fiemsiobe one favoring tht formation of an educational trust, and one which discriminates against the graduates of the seven or eight colleges in the State which are not members of thiB vicious monopoly and which do not live upon the bounties of the public treasury but depend upon tneir own merits for an existence. Hither to, even though these State institutions have lived at the publie expense, there has been no complaint on the part of non-State institutions. The people paid their taxes willingly and cheerfully in their aid and support even though they were not patrons, preferring to send their sons and daughters to a non-State school. But not content with the advantages of support by public taxation the partisan friends of the State institutions propose to take a long stride toward excluding from ohe race in life the men who are educated in colleges other than those fed upon the bounties of the public crib. To this the non-State colleges have entered a most vigorous protest. They demand that the graduates of all colleges, both
State and non-State, shall be placed on an equality, and that all shall obtain life license through examinations only. That this may be done impartially and without favor they demand that the State Board of Education shall be reorganized so that no one connected with any college or university, State or non-State, shall be a member of such board. This demand is just and equitable. Why should the graduates of Bloomington, the State Normal or of Purdue be favored for county superintendents and teachers abr ve those of Wabash. DePauw, Butler, or the several other firstclass nonState collegesV The proposed bill is nothing more or less than in the m-
terest of a gigantic educational t-ust. Bills are now pending in the Legislature to suppress industrial trusts, and it would riot be wise to circumscribe the boundaries of the one and at the same time enlarge those of another.
TIIK editor of the Emporia Gazette is a philosopher as well as a statesman. There is more good sense in what he has to say about the Kansas cow and the Kansas hen than has been evolvi-il from all the l'opulistic speeches combined including t.those of Mary HHen Lease and Sockless Simpson. What Kansas needs is more men like the editor of the Gazette. This is what he has to say:
All hands agree that outside capital is not available just now, anu many good business people think it is undesirable. But there are ways out open. One of these ways is the Kansas cow path. That will lead to glory quicker than the legislature can lead the way. The Kansas cow, if she is worked, will pay oil the national debt quicker than any legislature. Train-load after train-load of butter leaves Newton every month for New York, where it is shipped directly to London. That train should leave every Kansas couuty between Great Bend and the Missouri River. It would distribute more money per capita in Kansas than "the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the legal and constitutional ratio of 16 to 1." It would bring as much money into Lyon county in a year as the Santa Fe railroad shops bring if the farmers of this community would get the milk to market. There is more money in the Kansas cow than there is in pearls and diamonds. The Kansas hen can pay oft' the Kansas mortgage easier than a tariff bill or a silver bill. There will be a tariff on eggs, and the Canadian hen will be in the hands of a receiver. The Kansas hen eggs will be served on the breakfast table of the Palmer House in Chicago and the Fifth Avenue in New York. The Kansas hen will bring in more money than the Kansas steer. The thing to do is to cultivate the hen. Then when the hen and the cow are running on full time, the thing to do is to get a patch of garden and "tend it." There is good money in these things and good times are coming—are here. Men are going to work in all the shops in the central middle States These men are going to eat canned corn, and canned "tomaustes" and canned beans. Let 'em eat Kansas truck. It will pay.
